Building RideAway — India's security-first P2P scooter sharing platform for Tier-2 cities. MBA in Business Analytics. B.Tech in AI. I turn data into decisions and ideas into companies.
I'm Dipesh Lokare — a startup founder and MBA candidate passionate about using technology to solve real-world mobility problems in Tier-2 India.
As CEO of RideAway Solutions Pvt. Ltd., I led the company from scratch to ₹10L+ revenue in 6 months, pivoted from asset-heavy to P2P, and got incubated at PIERC, Parul University. My B.Tech in CSE (AI) gives me the technical foundation; my MBA in Business Analytics gives me the strategic layer.
I believe the best startups are built at the intersection of data, empathy, and relentless execution.

Documenting the raw, unfiltered journey of building RideAway — the pivots, the losses, and the lessons.
Everyone thought I was crazy. An AI engineer turning into a bike rental guy in Vadodara. Here's what they didn't understand about the opportunity...
We owned 11 bikes and were bleeding cash. The pivot to P2P wasn't a plan — it was a survival decision that changed everything...
We lost ₹33k to riders who didn't pay. Most founders hide this. I'm writing about it because the lesson is worth more than the money...
Whether you're an investor, a potential co-founder, a host partner, or just someone who loves startups — I'm always up for a good conversation.
